6 mos

It's time again for another recap of what you've been up to in the last month. At your 6mos check-up you weighed in at 18lbs 3oz, 26.5" long, and a 17.25 head circum. Math lesson real quick since birth you have gained 11lbs 8oz, gorwn 7" longer and your head well I don't remember your head circumference at birth (it's written down in your memory box) but either way you have grown.


*You have tried the following foods and love them all: butternut squash, sweet potatos, carrots, asparagus, spinach and peas.

*You've went into the Notre Dame Football stadium to watch me cross the finish line from the 1/2 marathon. After all you napped all 162 those training miles in the jogging stroller you had to be a part of it in some way.

*You can sit on your own for all of 15 seconds before you topple to the side or forward, but hey it's a start.

*You have apparently rolled over neither your daddy or I have witnessed this yet but you did twice for your Grandma Z a couple weeks ago but have yet to repeat your performance for anyone.

*You are a great baby, very rarely do you cry but when you do it's usually for good reason. Such as scooting your way into the corner of your crib and being stuck (I'd cry too). Overall you are a happy baby 98% of the time. You fall asleep talking and wake up talking...I really have no idea when you wake up because you wake up happy and slow.

*You're a water baby or at least on your way to being a water baby. Daddy and I got you a pool and at first you may shed a tear or 2 do to the water temp you quickly get use to it and love it. When your Aunt CiCi was in town we took you to a in ground pool and it didn't faze you one bit.

*You love to laugh at your daddy and I. You like us to do chest presses with you...you love being super close to us and lifted away. When we are tried we cheat and lay you on the bed and do really cheating push ups if you can even call them that. Your daddy loves to play with you once I've put you to bed you guys play peek a boo and with your monkey and your frog. This goes on until I usually drag your daddy out of your room and tell him you have to go to sleep now.

*You recognize that your name is Ian but will also respond to Buddy.

*Where ever we go you always catch everyone's attention. And they have to look at you, luckily that don't try to touch or else I may turn into a momma raccoon and let them know you are my baby so back off!!


*You love to stand and jump on our laps. We will have to schedule a visit to Aunt J's to try out the Johnny Jumper since our doorways don't have trim.

We are so lucky to have you in our lives and for you to be happy and healthy, such a blessing.
